POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME (PCOS)

Polycystic ovarian syndrome affects 5-10% of all women of reproductive age. Most research implicates the cause of PCOS due to excess levels of insulin or insulin resistance.

40-80% of women with PCOS struggle with infertility due to lack of ovulations. PCOS also puts women at risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, elevated cholesterol, and cancer.

There are naturopathic approaches to gently move women with PCOS to improved health, ovulation, and increased fertility.

Life Style: Start with walking 30 minutes each day for one week. Increase by 15 minutes each week until you are walking for one hour daily. Then pick up the pace!! The goal is to be having a cardiovascular workout for I hour daily. You will feel great! (Please check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.)

Weight Loss: Many of the problems with PCOS will resolve if you maintain a normal weight. So if the scale is reading a bit heavy it is time to modify your diet.
1.Plan 3 meals per day with 1-2 snacks.
2.All meals and snacks should have protein.
3.Include good fats in your diet. Eggs, avocados, nuts and seeds, fish, and olive oil.
4.5 – 8 servings of vegetables and/or fruits per day. Limits yourself to 75 grams of carbohydrates per day by staying with choices that have a low glycemic index.
5.Eliminates simple sugar, flour, and juice.
6.Never drink a soda again even if it is sugar-free.
7.Plan your meals and make your shopping list when you are not hungry and stick to it.
